Fresh portrayal of women in 'Daas Dev' attracted me: Richa Chadha

Actress Richa Chadha, who plays Paro in veteran filmmaker Sudhir Mishra's directorial "Daas Dev", says it was the film's fresh portrayal of women that made her take up the movie.

"What attracted me most to 'Daas Dev' was the fresh portrayal of women in Sudhir's adaptation. I love the fact especially about Paro that she doesn't wait for her love. She, in fact, locks horns with him and takes him on in politics to seek revenge," Richa said in a statement.

The actress says her character in the film is manipulative and loves power as much as the title character Dev.

"Daas Dev", which stars Aditi Rao Hydari, Rahul Bhat, Saurabh Shukla and Dalip Tahil, is a romantic political thriller based on the political clout of Uttar Pradesh.
